The story of Hachiko, the dog that waited 9 years at a train station for his owner who had passed away in 1924. 🕊️🤍 Hachiko, an akita inu, would walk with his owner, professor hidesaburo ueno, to Shibuya station in Tokyo every morning, as ueno left for work. and each evening, Hachiko would return to the station to wait for him to come home. But in may 1925, professor ueno passed away suddenly while at work and never returned. Hachiko was taken in by another family, but he continued going to Shibuya station every day, waiting for his owner to return. The dog did this every day for 9 years and 9 months, until he passed away in 1935. By then, the story of Hachiko’s loyalty had become known throughout Japan, and a statue was unveiled at Shibuya station in 1934, while hachiko was still alive. In 2015, another statue was unveiled, this time showing Hachiko being reuinted with professor ueno. Hachiko was buried beside ueno’s grave in aoyama cemetery. 🙏🏼 #dog #japan #doglife #histor...
